Description

 

 

Frame Repeat Count

Designates how video output from the IP camera displays. The IP camera

 

 

generates two independent fields (odd and even) for each video capture,

 

 

which occur 60 times per second for NTSC or 50 times per second for PAL.

 

 

When Frame Repeat Count is set to 1, the IP camera combines one odd and

 

 

one even field to compose a video frame. When Frame Repeat Count is set

 

 

to 2, the IP camera uses one of the fields two times to compose a video frame.

 

 

A setting of 1 provides smoother video. It is designed for software that can

 

 

display interlaced video.

 

 

The default value is 2.

 

 

 

Options

 

 

 

 

Enable Time Stamp

Check this check box to display the time from the internal clock of the IP

 

 

camera as an overlay on the video image from the IP camera.

 

 

Enable Text Display

Check this check box to display designated text as an overlay on the video

 

 

image from the IP camera, and enter alphanumeric text of up to 20

 

 

characters.

 

 

This option can be useful for identifying this IP camera in an installation

 

 

with several IP cameras.
